all about
a dimpled
chin
An uneven chin with visible dimpling or a noticeable dent can affect both your profile and your confidence. This skin texture, often called ‘peau d’orange’ because it looks like orange peel, is caused by overactive chin muscles or by volume loss in the underlying tissue.
The result? Skin that looks restless or tense, which can throw off the natural balance of your face. The good news is that it’s very treatable with botox or fillers, which relax the muscle and restore lost volume. Your chin looks smooth and relaxed again, in harmony with the rest of your face.
curious what we can do for you?
what is chin dimpling?
Dimples or dents in the chin appear when the mentalis (chin) muscle contracts strongly and pulls the skin inwards. This creates a bumpy, rippled surface that looks a lot like orange peel.
causes and risk factors
- an overactive chin muscle (tensing when you talk or concentrate)
- volume loss due to ageing
- a genetic tendency to dimpling
- smoking or sun damage, which thins the skin
signs of a dimpled or dented chin
- wrinkled, uneven skin texture when you tense your chin
- a dent or small dimples that stay visible at rest
- a shadow or crease in the chin area
who is chin treatment suitable for?
Anyone who’s bothered by an uneven chin, a dent or that ‘peau d’orange’ effect. Men and women, young or older.
treatment methods at uma clinic
botox
A small amount of botulinum toxin relaxes the mentalis (chin) muscle. The skin stops puckering, the dimpling and rippling fade, and your chin looks smoother.
fillers
A fine hyaluronic acid filler subtly fills the dent in the chin and evens out the skin. You’ll see a smooth, rounded chin straight away, with a naturally refined facial contour.
combination treatment
Combining botox with fillers tackles both the cause and the effect of the rippling. Botox reduces muscle activity, while fillers smooth out any remaining dents. The result? A smooth, even finish that lasts.
results you can expect
- within 3 to 5 days of botox, the chin muscle relaxes and the skin looks calmer.
- filler instantly restores volume and smooths the surface.
- a natural, symmetrical chin profile with no visible dimpling.
before and aftercare
- don’t lie down, exercise or rub the area for four hours after injectables.
- avoid alcohol, saunas and intense workouts for 24 hours.
- apply SPF 50 every day to protect your skin quality.
